NOTES
Judge Long has made a very good inn
precision, and the people feel very safe in
the calmness Of his judicial dignity
His charge to the Grand Jury was plain
and of the homc-spun order, and the
most stupid man on earth could have un-
derstood every word and meaning of the
charge.
Mr.. Burkharj-Old Burk," Of San
Ia Fc. 50 many years, is here as Clerk
Johnson's deputy, and is a crank on base
bali. We've been there.
The lack of noise is noticeable in the
parade" of the court
White Oaks Nogal, and that section,
arc well represented on the iuries
Court will not last, in all probability,
longer than next Tuesday.
With John Poe at the head Of the
Grand Jury, wrong doers had better pull
their freight"
Col Fountain and Mr.. Milligan, are the
only Las Cruces lawyers here at this
term wonder what's the matter
All the lawyers in the county are here
not an absentee.
May litigation grow less, more intn-
cate and of law" and may our new
court renew the confidence Of the people
in the sentiment Of justice.
THURSDAY FRIDAY.
